Memorable Moments:
“I view ADHD as a type of superpower. The things I experienced in my life, I didn’t see them as negative. I saw them as positive.”
”When you call something a disorder, you’re saying something is broken. I didn’t feel disordered.”
”There actually is a way to transform the negative things that have happened into something positive.”
”A lot of the symptoms [of trauma and ADHD] overlap.”
”People who have PTSD are far more likely to also be diagnosed with ADHD.”
”Trauma is never the thing that happened. It’s the way that our bodies responded to the things that happened.=
”One of the central things for something to turn into trauma is the ability or the inability to take action.”
”It’s not the event. It’s the response of the body.”
”Trauma is a solvable problem.”
”We tend to believe that some emotions are good and others are bad…The moment you say, ‘No, anger is bad,’ you are teaching them that they don’t actually have agency….that their reaction to an unjust event is itself unjust. And that is incorrect.”
”Giving room for those emotions to be expressed in a healthy way can go a long way.”
